Fugitive found hiding under floorboard of Van Buren County house

LAWRENCE, Mich. — A man with a warrant out for his arrest attempted to hide from authorities in a hole in the floor of a Van Buren County home.

The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office heard two wanted parole fugitives were in Lawrence on Saturday night. Deputies were at the location to find them, when both suspects showed up in a vehicle.

Deputies arrested one fugitive and the second one ran into a nearby home. Deputies looked inside the house and saw 42-year-old Bobby Bryan Tillery, who was also wanted by authorities on a dangerous drug charge and violating parole.
